Official Desktop Application for Ledger Hardware Wallets 🔐
Ledger Live Desktop is the official application developed by Ledger to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio securely. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Ledger hardware wallets, Ledger Live Desktop enables users to track balances, perform transactions, install blockchain apps, and monitor portfolio performance—all while keeping private keys offline.
Unlike browser-based wallets or exchange accounts, Ledger Live Desktop provides a secure, dedicated environment to manage assets, reducing the risk of phishing attacks, malware, and unauthorized access. With a clean interface and regular updates, it is suitable for both beginners and experienced crypto users.
Ledger Live Desktop is built on a security-first architecture. Private keys never leave your Ledger device. All transaction signing occurs on-device, and every transfer requires physical confirmation. The software provides firmware verification and encrypted storage of non-sensitive data, ensuring your assets remain protected from malware and phishing attacks.
Users can add multiple blockchain accounts within Ledger Live Desktop. Supported assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, ERC-20 tokens, and many others. Each account allows real-time portfolio tracking, sending and receiving of assets, and transaction history management.
The interface allows users to label accounts, categorize assets, and monitor gains/losses, providing a clear overview of all holdings in one place.
Ledger Live Desktop provides a secure, intuitive platform for managing your cryptocurrency assets. By combining desktop software with a Ledger hardware wallet, users enjoy real-time portfolio management, transaction security, and multi-asset support, all while keeping private keys offline. Following installation steps, security best practices, and advanced features ensures safe and efficient crypto management.
